Here he goes again! Talking shit about something he knows nothing about!



A "sua sponte" order POST-PLEA BARGAIN by a Federal Judge directed at a prosecutor to hand over all "exculpatory" evidence available to the prosecutor is not a "routine order" ...

Anecdotal bullshit about "standing orders" do not apply to discovery orders signed AFTER A PLEA AGREEMENT IS SIGNED AND APPROVED BY THE PRESIDING JUDGE OVER THE CASE.

I don't expect you or 99% of others on here to comprehend it, but a Federal Court plea agreement is not like a plea on a speeding ticket. I doubt that there is even a completed pre-sentence agreement (or objections to a proposed report) to be submitted to the Judge, because apparently Flynn has not yet completed his apparent obligations to the prosecution, which would necessarily be reflected in the pre-sentence report of the Federal Probation Officer assigned to Flynn for the pre-sentence report.

None of that process is then controlled by a "standing discovery order" since the plea agreement would in effect waive any potential discovery disputes, e.g. waiving the reserving of an issue for appeal on disclosure by the Government in the plea agreement.

That's why it is not "customary" and "usual" as you claim through your sources.

There is no "assumption" that Flynn's plea will be overturned or set aside by the signing of this unusual order. Apparently either the Judge saw something in the case file, was informed of a challenge to the plea, or was watching current events unfolding with respect to the FBI handling of the investigation from which Flynn was convicted. The Judge appears to be assuring that ALL potentially exculpatory evidence is delivered to the defense to review and determine if it points to a legal basis to set aside the plea ... and perhaps even dismiss charges against him for misconduct.

Even if he does withdraws guilty plea charges may take place.

So there is something to it.

Flynn's plea agreement includes an agreement for no prison. So depending on what Mueller has on Flynn, Mueller could still prosecute him I court and he could still be found guilty by a jury. My guess is of Mueller is forced to take it to trial, the no jail time will be taken off the table.

If Flynn thinks he can win with a jury why take the deal in the first place?

can't you fucking read? Or understand wtf you've read.

So every time this judge issues this order are you numbnuts going to declare the perp innocent?

Basically something that does not happen very often but this judge does now all the time means that Flynn is changing his plea.

You know little kids who think there is a Boogie Man, see him at night in the Shadows.

Moral to the story, you Trumpers see what you want to see.
Yeah, you won’t hear this from the MSM. But a week after his guilty plea the original guilty plea the Judge was replaced (probably removed) by a new judge. The new judge has ordered any and all escupatory evidence be turned over to Flynn. Not like Andrew Weismann ever witheld esculpatory evedince before. Flynn didn’t know that his meeting with the FBI was a formal interview. Comey said that he didn’t believe that Flynn lied. Flynn’s sentencing date has been postponed until May. I wonder why? Did the FBI also withold esculpatory evidence to the FISA Court? Lots of corruption going on in DC.

I never get tired of watching you crumble. A true trumpy.
I never claimed to be a legal scholar. It didn't require a legal scholar to kick the shit out of you again.
You tried to act smarter than everybody else with;

"A "sua sponte" order POST-PLEA BARGAIN by a Federal Judge directed at a prosecutor to hand over all "exculpatory" evidence available to the prosecutor is not a "routine order"

You google a legal expression, pretending you aren't clueless while ignoring the facts of the story. Facts that had already been posted in the thread.

Once again you flapped your gums when you should have been reading.

Because that's all it took this time. Someone who can read English. You don't need to know anything about the law when you read that the judge in question issues that order for every case of his.

You being the pompous douche-bag that you are, missed that obvious fact.

As far as napolitano goes, you tell me why he missed the obvious. It's obvious that he's part of fox now. And it's not in fox's interest to put the baby to bed.

When I said you were right as he was, that isn't quite right.
I should have said he got paid to ignore the facts.
You ignored the facts because you're stupid. And since you aren't smart enough to feel stupid, I'll keep reminding you
He's clearly more "relevant" than you are shit-face on this topic! Now you might know more about getting drunk!

I guess in all of your vast experience you've seen lots of them!

You and WTF! The Legal Scholars!

As for Judge Napoitano he's got more legal knowledge in his little finger than you have or ever will have for the rest of your sorry life in your entire sorry body.

Just admit you're full of shit, and move on. Originally Posted by LexusLover

A lot less than you think.

Yep, it was fun using you like a tee-ball and then parking your head in the cheap seats in right field.
That's twice today.
One question though.
Who the fuck is Judge Napoitano?

PS Maybe you are a tiny bit smarter. You admitted you were wrong and made no attempt at challenging the facts of the story.

Now dry those tears and get ready for the night shift at 7-11.

Honest members of society would recognize this retraction of the plea bargain is a non-story. The newsworthy information, the changing of judges, was reported by CNN and the NYT amongst others.
The speculation about the future is just that. Speculation.
It is Op-Ed, not news.
Not only is withholding evidence is a bad faith action, it is an illegal act. There is no indication or evidence the feds have held back pro-defendant evidence. Just more smoke to confuse things and discredit the FBI and the DOJ.
The case was assigned to a new judge. A judge who issues the order in question for every single criminal case on his docket.
The original judge recused himself. When asked for a reason reporters were told,
"A spokesman for the U.S. District Court in D.C. told the Daily Caller that the court will not release the reason for the recusal, which is typical of a court.
“The court generally does not disclose reasons for recusal,” Lisa Klem said."

Actually, I have a grin on .... laughing at you!

"napolitano" ... I my ... I accidentally omitted the "l" in his name.

Are you really that petty? Or does that make you feel "superior" intellectually?

Go stick your head back into that latrine of yours and remain ignorant.

Did you post "7-11"? Doesn't that "Trump" leaving out an "l" in a name you posted?
